Joel Lawson

Joel Lawson, doing business as Alta Plant Management, is a small, for-profit sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov that specializes in environmental and botanical consulting services for federal agencies. The company primarily provides professional services related to natural resource management, including botanical surveys, seed collection, and ecological research. Alta Plant Management appears to focus on supporting federal land management and conservation efforts, with a particular emphasis on work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service in the Northern Region.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contracts specifically focused on botanical and ecological services. Recent contract awards include conducting botanical surveys for plant species of concern and invasive plant species in the Bitterroot National Forest, with a contract valued at $21,200, and seed collection services for native plant species, with a contract valued at $27,000. These contracts are set aside for small businesses and involve detailed environmental research and documentation. The work primarily supports the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, specifically Region 1 - Northern Region, and involves specialized ecological field work that requires expertise in plant identification, species documentation, and conservation-related data collection.

Alta Plant Management holds a significant multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) titled "Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR)" with a $50,000,000 ceiling value and a 10-year performance period from May 2024 to March 2033. This national BPA allows the company to provide a broad range of professional services across the United States, including project management, natural resources consulting, data management, restoration work, road work, and plant material production. The BPA is available for use by federal agencies and was awarded as a small business set-aside, likely under the NAICS code 541620 for Environmental Consulting Services. This vehicle positions Alta Plant Management to potentially expand its federal contract work across multiple agencies and geographical regions.
